REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF OOREDOO Q.P.S.C.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Ooredoo Q.P.S.C. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") as at 31 March 2022 and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, ‘Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity’. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

(i) Merger between Indosat Ooredoo (“IO”) and PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia
On 4 January 2022, one of the subsidiaries of the Group namely IO completed a statutory merger with PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia (“H3I”), the Indonesian subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited (“CKH”).
The merger was approved by the shareholders on 28 December 2021. However, the remaining ministry approvals to finalize the merger deal (Minister of Law and Human Rights and Ministry of Communication and Informatics) were only received on 4 January 2022. Accordingly, the merger was completed as of that date, and the Group lost control over IO in which the Group had 65% shareholding via Ooredoo Asia - its fully owned subsidiary, when the new board of directors came into effect.

7. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings for the period attributable to the shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding at any time during the period and, therefore, the dilutive earnings per share is equal to the basic earnings per share.

(i) The Group’s financial assets comprise of investment in a telecommunication related company with fair value of QR. 434,819 thousand (2021: QR. 422,242 thousand), investment in venture capital funds and other private equity funds. The investment in hedge funds is accounted for at fair value through the statement of profit or loss (FVTPL).
Other investments are accounted for at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). The Group has elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as these investments are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes and not held for trading.
Further, management believes that recognising short-term fluctuations in the fair value of these investments in the condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy.
Further information about the fair value of these investments is disclosed in Note 27.

Balances with banks are assessed to have low credit risk of default since these banks are highly regulated by the central banks of the respective countries. Accordingly, the Group estimates the loss allowance on balances with banks at the end of the reporting period at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. None of the balances with banks at the end of the reporting period are past due and taking into account the historical default experience and the current credit ratings of the banks, the Group has recorded an impairment loss of QR. 608 thousand during the period ended 31 March 2022 (2021: impairment reversal of QR. 746 thousand).
15. TRANSLATION RESERVE
The translation reserve comprises all foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations. During the current period, the movement was mainly coming from the Kuwaiti Dinar, Tunisian Dinar, and Algerian Dinar. In addition, the translation reserve decreased significantly as a result of the deconsolidation of the Indosat Ooredoo (Note 6).

- SEGMENT INFORMATION
Information regarding the Group’s reportable segments is set out below in accordance with “IFRS 8 Operating Segments”. IFRS 8 requires reportable segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is the “Board of Directors”, and used to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.
The Group is mainly engaged in a single line of business, being the supply of telecommunications services and related products. The majority of the Group’s revenues, profits and assets relate to its operations in the MENA. Outside of Qatar, the Group operates through its subsidiaries and associates and major operations that are reported to the Group’s CODM are considered by the Group to be reportable segments. Revenue is attributed to reportable segments based on the location of the Group companies. Inter-segment sales are charged at arms’ length prices.
For management reporting purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on their geographical area covered, and has seven reportable segments as follows:
-
Ooredoo Qatar is a provider of domestic and international telecommunication services within the State of Qatar;
-
Asiacell is a provider of mobile telecommunication services in Iraq;
-
Ooredoo Hutchison Asia (“OHA”) (considered a major joint venture) is a provider of telecommunication services such as cellular services, fixed telecommunications, multimedia, data communication and internet services in Indonesia;
-
Ooredoo Oman is a provider of mobile and fixed telecommunication services in Oman;
-
Ooredoo Algeria is a provider of mobile and fixed telecommunication services in Algeria; 6. Ooredoo Myanmar is a provider of mobile and fixed telecommunication services in Myanmar; and
-
Others include some of the Group’s subsidiaries which are providers of wireless and telecommunication services.
NMTC group is a provider of mobile telecommunication services in Kuwait and elsewhere in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. NMTC group includes balances and results of Ooredoo Kuwait, Ooredoo Tunisia, Ooredoo Algeria, Wataniya Palestine, Ooredoo Maldives PLC and others. In 2020, based on the recent information and circumstances, management reassessed and concluded that each of the mentioned entities represents a separate operating segment and should be assessed individually whether it meets the criteria of IFRS 8 Operating Segments, as a reportable segment. If not, such entity is reported as part of “Others”.
Management monitors the operating results of its operating subsidiaries separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss of these reportable segments. Transfer pricing between reportable segments is on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

At 31 March 2022, the Group has notes with a fair value of QR. 19,918,647 thousand (2021: 20,900,496 thousand). The notes are listed on the Irish bond market and the fair value of these instruments is determined by reference to quoted prices in this market. The market for these bonds is not considered to be liquid and consequently the fair value measurement is categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
For fair value measurements categorised within Level 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the fair values are determined using appropriate valuation techniques, which include the use of mathematical models, such as discounted cash flow models and option pricing models, comparison to similar instruments for which market observables prices exist and other valuation techniques. Valuation techniques incorporate assumptions regarding discount rates, estimates of future cash flows and other factors.
The following table summarises the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements for the individually significant investment:

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information
- COMPARATIVE INFORMATION
During the period, the Group performed an exercise to determine if the presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information is in accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”. This exercise resulted in reclassification of certain line items in the condensed consolidated interim financial information. The comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform with the presentation for the current period. Such reclassifications have been made by the Group to improve the quality of information presented and did not have any impact on the previously reported equity and profits.
Below is a summary of significant reclassifications made during the period:
